NEW VIDEO: Zack Snyder & Gender!

EDIT: updated with final version

Hope you're having a great Saturday evening! Here's a new video! I have a few technical things I still need to do before the final, public version (color, some sound, adding more subtitles), plus I will probably add a few more sentences here or there to clarify or expand on things. But for the most part, this is it!

Content warning: the first big section of this video is a lengthy discussion about sexual assault in Sucker Punch. There's a clear content warning a few minutes into the video (at the start of that section) with the timecode to skip it.

I'm excited to see what you all think. Let me know if anything is too harsh, or doesn't make sense.

Now that this behemoth of a series is out of the way, I'll be able to pump out some more reasonably sized videos, more often.

NEW VIDEO: Zack Snyder & Gender!

Comments

Hi, Maggie Mae! Thanks for making it clear to me why I felt hollow having seen Sucker Punch! Of all places that happened in New York City, the one and only time I've been in the U.S seven years ago. Watching this video I had several moments of thinking of what to say and then the next thing you said flushed them away. What remained was this: what if Zack Snyder was a side stream artist trying to make himself known? Would we not see through then? What is it that makes him opaque to everyone simply because he is mainstream? Opaque to everyone else but you, my dear Maggie Mae! You got his address loud and clear, I think.

Thank you, Dustin!!

I haven't watched any of these movies so it's great that I can get some insight to the insecure dude bro environment through such a thoughtful lens. This video made me increase my pledge, you deserve it!

Dustin

Amazing work! I loved it.

Sarah Jones

Sucker Punch is the one Zack Snyder film I did not see. I guess I’m good!

Don Morris

I LOVED Cody's video!!!

Over on "Some More News," there's good bit of superhero analysis (including Zack) that you/people might enjoy as a companion piece to this. I really enjoyed it, and this. Fair warning; it's over 2 hours long... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yj-wc9qugGY&t=5010s

I hope you’re going to do an addendum after the famous cut finally comes out and is inevitably on a continuum with this misanthropic/misogynistic schlock. I mean it’s tiresome to point this out, but it’s nothing to do with box office even. This guy keeps getting money to make drab, largely unpopular movies because his worldview is in line with that of the present-day Hollywood money men. He and every other “terraform the planet”/“depopulate the universe” blockbuster is propaganda for their übermensch fantasies and greedy nihilism.

Great video! I know it's a quick blurb but it's always interesting to see people talk about Black Widow being a monster because she can't have kids when I always took that discussion as her describing the full extent of what she went through in order to make her a monster, how totalizing it was, but how she's trying to move past that - just like she hopes Bruce will.

Whoo! I can't wait to sit and watch this one, thanks for putting all of this together, the entire series has been great. You're a trooper Maggie! Cheers!

We have to do better. We will! Lol that turned out to be bullcrap lolz. Okay that's mean... Just about everything after ass man v stupid man was SLIGHTLY better I guess lol.

Soi Born

Awesome! I never thought of The Twilight Universe being it's Bizzaro but damn that can't be unseen now! Thanks again for another great video!

StarMan2112

I like the video. There is an extra take that seems to have been left in by accident around 25:25.

The BabaDuck

Its so boring I dont think we even finished it. Thats one reason we were so glad Eric tackled it in their section lol

Maggie Mae Fish

This collab is now the greatest crossover event in cinematic history!

Mike Craft

Excellent! Fair play to ya! This was very satisfying! Save Martha ;)

John D Ruddy

We don't make that comparison directly, but its something that was definitely in the back of our minds. It seems VERY Brazil-inspired.

Maggie Mae Fish

The discussion of Babydoll's "liberation" by labotomy makes me think of Terry Gilliam's assertion that Sam Lowry has a happy ending in Brazil - that he escapes to the one place his tormentors cannot reach him. I've not seen Sucker Punch, though, so I'm not going to speculate further on this... and maybe you've already compared these (I'm new to your channel and haven't caught up entirely).

Chris Combs

I can't get over how incredibly ugly Znyder's films are, absolute eyesores.

Doesn't need reshoots, but you definitely deserve the $70 million...

That Jared Leto lol. He might just be the greatest and also worst actor of all time, all the time.

This one really connected with me. Very good!

That mustache gives me funny feelings in my swimsuit area.
